associated with the new location project identified as U-2524CD. Tl�e project, identified as U-
2524CD, is a 4.8 mile, six-lane divided facility on new location extending from north of SR 2176
(Bryan Boulevard) to SR 2303 (Lawndale Drive) in Greensbaro, Guilford County, North

terminates immediately east of US220 (Battlegrotimd Avenue) and Section D begins immediately
east of Battlegrouud Avenue and ends at SR 2303 (Lawndale Drive). The siYe contains a portion
of Horsepen Creek, fifteen (15) umiamed tri6utaries to Horsepen Creek, a portioil of Richland
Creek, five (5) unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, and fifreen (15) adjacent wetland areas in
the Cape Fear River Basin (8-Digit Cataloging Unit 03030002).
